        Cómo construir un volcán (How to create a volcano)

        by Vicente Rojo, José Emilio Pacheco, Alberto Blanco, Bárbara Jacobs, Coral Bracho, José-Miguel Ullán

        This work created from drawings of volcanoes by the artist, with the collaboration of the poems of Pacheco, Bracho, Blanco, Jacobs and Millán give us clues about how to build a volcano, ink and letters. Vicente Rojo's Volcanoes are descriptive forms, which contain a deep love for the artistic profession, and reveal an external structure that speaks of the infinite complexity of the universe. They are a creative effort to unravel the mystery of volcanoes. The use of descriptive and functional forms, characteristic of Vicente Rojo's work, allows establishing an interpretive parameter, which in poetry has been reflected in mysterious and evocative ways.

        Adiós

        by Candelario Obeso / Juan Camilo Mayorga

        Good-Bye is a poem that recreates the joy of a character from the coast who, after being away from his home, is preparing himself to return. The poet compares all those things he loves about his land (specially the sea, a clear leitmotiv in the poem) with those he finds in the Andean city in which he is currently living. This text, full of music and cadence, is accompanied by nostalgic and somehow surreal images that, parallel to the poem, suggest another story, another reading.
